Complete Casting Handbook: Metal Casting Processes, Metallurgy, Techniques and Design
Complete Casting Handbook: Metal Casting Processes, Metallurgy, Techniques and Design by John Campbell is a comprehensive resource published by Elsevier S & T in 2015. This second edition spans 1,054 pages and is presented in English, offering an updated guide that covers modern principles and processes in metal casting with a clear, practical focus.
Readers will find a unique perspective on the behavior of castings and metals, particularly regarding biofilm content and the casting defects that influence their structure and performance. The book includes new findings from Campbell’s research on topics such as crack initiation and vortex gates, making it a valuable reference for those interested in solidification, nucleation, and molding within the technical and manufacturing industries. The logical two-part structure addresses both casting metallurgy and manufacture, providing essential information for engineers making casting decisions.
Official synopsis Publisher
Campbell’s Complete Casting Handbook: Metal Casting Processes, Techniques and Design, Second Edition provides an update to the first single-volume guide to cover modern principles and processes in such breadth and depth, while also retaining a clear, practical focus.
The work has a unique viewpoint, interpreting the behavior of castings, and metals as a whole, in terms of their biofilm content, the largely invisible casting defects which control much of the structure and behavior of metals.
This new edition includes new findings, many from John Campbell’s own research, on crack initiation, contact pouring, vortex gates, and the Cosworth Process.
- Delivers the expert advice that engineers need to make successful and profitable casting decisions
- Ideal reference for those interested in solidification, vortex gates, nucleation, biofilm, remelting, and molding
- Follows a logical, two-part structure that covers both casting metallurgy and casting manufacture
- Contains established, must-have information, such as Campbell’s ‘10 Rules’ for successful casting manufacture
- Includes numerous updates and revisions based on recent breakthroughs in the industry
